Analysis

The Self-Reflection and Insight Scale is used to assess an individual’s ability to reflect on and understand themselves. This scale measures the extent to which people engage in the process of self-reflection and insight regarding their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Objective

The objective of the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale is to evaluate the individual’s ability to examine and analyze their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The scale can be used to study the relationship between self-reflection and other psychological parameters, such as well-being or mental health.

Calibration

The scale includes statements that participants evaluate on a Likert scale, usually with 5 or 7 points, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 or 7 (strongly agree). The overall score is obtained by summing or averaging the scores for the individual statements, with higher scores indicating better self-reflection and insight ability.
